Congratulations to everyone attempting this incredible adventure.

The US men finally have their monkey off their back and won the men’s race with Jim Walmsley (1st) and Zach Miller (2nd) coming in under 20hrs, which until last year’s performance by Kilian Jornet (who was out injured this year) had never been done. Jim also lowered the course record by almost 10 min.

In the women’s race the story is even bigger with Courtney cementing her absolute queen status by winning UTMB for a third time and claiming the unbelievable triple of winning Western States, Hardrock 100 and UTMB all in the same year, a feat that had never been accomplished before. Germany’s Katharina Hartmuth taking second is the first podium finish for a German athlete at any UTMB race.
